Can't/won't writers' guilds or similar sue those cultural criminals?
How I wish you'd crush that company #FuckMeta
So it seems Meta/Threads are forcibly altering output of the Trans Flag emoji , to only show the two combining elements instead of the actual emoji.
This is appearing correct on the Fediverse, however on Meta, it seems they are removing an aspect of the emoji to make it combined... absolute shite.
@fixatedpersonsunit just bought it from #waterstones Thanks!

Fuck you, Meta!
Meta puts stop on promotion of tell-all book by former employee (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/mar/13/meta-careless-people-book-former-employee) - The Guardian

...and here it is. I've completely ditched Meta and am now on a journey to de-Google my life as well. I feel so relieved!!! The online environment there was just too toxic. It's challenging to avoid all billionaire big tech companies, but I'm glad I chose Mastodon (and Cara) over the alternatives. Next on my list: deleting my PayPal account and updating my email across all the forums I'm part of.
@CosmicRami Tell your friend his picture is wonderful, and I enjoyed it greatly, but I don't hang out in Nazi Bars, so will never see his other stuff.
Bonus points if you convince him to migrate.
So if you are visually oriented, I’ve switched to pixelfed.
1st they platformed #WhiteSupremacy, then they followed the “X” example of #moderation, now douchey-douche is cosplaying #ToxicMasculinity
Women make up just 35% of the #tech workforce & hold only 11% of executive roles. The industry has long been a prime example for the workforce’s #GenderGap, but acc/to #Meta CEO #MarkZuckerberg, “masculine energy” is being sucked from the workforce, & corporations need to bring that “aggression” back.
An update on the TikTok situation from some monitoring of Reddit. Now you get TOS'ed for saying negative comments about meta and Zuckerberg, left-wing politics get flagged as misinformation, and you can't tag
#fucktrump #fuckelon or #fuckmeta but you CAN tag #fuckbiden and #fuckkamala
Anyone you know who is using these fascists' platforms is complicit and helping to enable this enshitification!
Well, I still can't import posts from instagram, but here's more new content.
Well peeps,
It took me long enough and I'm not proud of that, but I'm cutting all ties with Meta by the end of the month. I made it very apparent to my friends and followers as to why. Gonna be hard to stop drinking from the firehose of doom, but given the sweltering wave of fascism coming down the line, I know I made the right decision.

That is certainly true.
From the ABC article:
"...In the past week the charity has had dozens of posts flagged by Meta's artificial intelligence (AI) tool as a breach of community standards for the sale of animals or animal parts.
Meta's community standards outline that users cannot promote the sale of animals..."
JFC.
